Based on AWS spot instance pricing, LTC mining difficulty, and the present value of LTC, it can be profitable to mine for LTC on EC2 g2.2xlarge instances.<p>This project was inspired by Bob Feldbauer's post on Profitable LiteCoin Mining on EC2, and a desire to practice my Ansible chops.<p>As of right now, the spot instance price is approx $0.30/hr, so it's no longer immediately profitable, so I wouldn't recommend this if you're looking to flip a quick buck (before yesterday would have been a different story). Nevertheless, a fun weekend hack project if anyone's curious to give it a try!
